I recently became a new owner of 1971 280SL, which has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I also got married, which is even better : ) Nice to meet you all!

I see your wife is driving.  Is it really her car now? - come on, you can tell us....?   Congrats on both counts.   The interior colour is marvelous.
